I will give it a try
There's almost certainly no way any of them have been "tipped off" to the thread here, it's just a string of incredibly good luck being broken by people obviously not wanting to answer a question and it can be assumed most of them aren't fooled by it. Keep in mind the "Tee hee I have a silly question are you ticklish?! XD" shit in and of itself isn't new, you could find any random celeb on Twitter or Ask.fm get it all the time. Some people just aren't going to fall for it.
If anyone wants to test...Creative Calm ASMR is on Cameo and she has mentioned tickling in some of her videos and openly acknowledges the foot fetish community with some of her feet specific videos. Highly doubt she would reject a request but she’s currently unavailable for some reason.

Have tried another request? Are you getting instantly cancelled like everyone else?
So, I let the curiosity get the best of me and sent a request. I told myself it was stupid to pay for something like this...but the tickle devil on my shoulder was screaming do it!
Anyways this was last week, and I actually got a reply! I asked two questions, first a buttered up question and then THE question. She answered the first question...and then said she wouldn't answer the second question because she had gotten the question already and it got denied. She said it as if she didn't herself deny it, like it was flagged by cameo first and rejected.
The problem here was inevitable, it's like throwing a bone to a pack of hungry wolves lol we geeked out too hard on it and it got weird. It was already kind of a slimy feeling asking unsuspecting vanilla's this question for our own pleasure...but the curiosity (or other more primal emotions...) certainly got the best of us!
I suggest if this sort of chance ever arises again, or maybe if we cool it for a while with this one, that we coordinate who's asking who, etc. to prevent overload of the system.
Or, let's just keep flooding them and see what happens, probably just as good a strategy lol
Tbh I never would have dreamed so many people would have been willing to make the requests and how much people were willing to spend when I made my original post. Thinking about it, the site must have got hundreds of requests related to tickling.
I actually doubt that considering the money factor.Not everybody has the dough set aside to toss relentlessly at all these celebs. But I do believe that we as in the people that were publicly contributing may have gotten zealous. I had like 4-5 requests pending at one point lol. It was pretty addictive.
I asked Victoria Baamonde... She's from survivor and yes I still watch Survivor.
And I think it's completely reasonable to think that there have been hundreds of tickle questions asked. Or even thousands of weird fetish questions. I mean, she was less than $20 bucks! Not small cash, but I mean it's not like a months rent or groceries for the week lol. I won't send any more tbh, whether they are working or not. But if people will pay $20 for videos of non celebrities, would they pass up a personalized video from a celebrity, regardless of how popular, telling them they are ticklish? I couldn't pass it up despite my best efforts and I'm pretty stingy.
Personally, I don't understand why the website would delete them. It makes money for them! I also don't see why people would just stop answering. I myself have a list of lesser known celebrities but don't have the money to ask myself.
I mean, there is little harm in asking anyway, they refund you if they don't accept your request. Unless, like in my situation, they reply, charge you and then make your video saying they won't answer that question...
And the biggest reason the site would dismiss the requests is because if the celebs who are on the site start thinking all they are getting is fetish questions and things they aren't comfortable with, they will stop taking requests. And that would kill the business. If it were me running it, I'd not allow this kind of stuff to happen either lol a few won't matter but once you start to see a pattern...they aren't ignorant.
Anyway, I won't be sending any more requests, but if you're still willing I know there will be a lot of happy people in the community, myself included.
No one thought that maybe you shouldn't have shared the links on the site for the same reasons we don't share youtube links, twitter, etc? I doubt they're getting a lot of 'these' type of questions because people were to scared to even use Cameo to begin especially because of the prices. I think it would be better to just delete all the links, screen record the answers and share them that way without making any references to cameo.
You seriously think they’re tracking links to this website?

It says temporarily unavailable on her page, i think thats the problem. Btw, could we all maybe share the presentation of how we ask the question, in case we could give each other some pointers on how to do it efficiently? Haven't asked anyone yet, but i would probably say something close to "Hello! I've been a fan of yours for a while. I think you have a great smile! What would you say makes you laugh the most? Are you ticklish?"
Thats obviously pretty generic on my part, but its off the top of my head. Does anyone think they have a formula for results? Helping each other out might make this go smoother.
What almost definitely happened is that they noticed that these videos were getting tons of hits. Most Cameo videos probably get a few hits, because they're personalized videos. Whereas these videos were probably getting 1000 hits! Hundreds per day.
On top of that: when you have a website, you can usually see what has directly linked to your site. I know mine can. That's why we put spaces or leave off the https when we post links. So Cameo may have put two and two together, seen these videos were getting lots of hits, and then possibly have seen the site it was getting linked to. But probably they just saw these videos were getting hundreds more hits than the average video.
In the future - if there is a future - perhaps just upload the video here, or upload it to Streamable. I'm sure that's what the issue is: "gee, why is this video getting 1000 hits, and all the others are getting, like, 10 hits?"
